hey thanks for info ! something has gotta be done or just keep me outta my wifes car but that thing is a blast on a mountain road!! I am figuring out some of the things you speak of and i will be adding the Struts to the hood so ya do not have to rely on the stupid rod that never wants to let the hood go without makinga terrible cracking noise!! So you think to OEM Toyo Tires are part of the issue with the noise?
